LOADPATH is obsolete since octave-2.9, I remember that you are using
octave-3.2.5(?). If so, modify .octaverc (in
/usr/local/share/TeXmacs/plugins/octave/octave or
/usr/share/TeXmacs/plugins/octave/octave directory) as follows:

---- begin ----
d=getenv("TEXMACS_PATH");
if (length(d) > 0)
    # Add the following directories to Octave's ``load path'':
    #   - ${TEXMACS_PATH}/plugins/octave/octave/tm
    #   - ${TEXMACS_PATH}/plugins/octave/octave/plot
    #   - ${TEXMACS_PATH}/plugins/octave/octave/polynomial
    #if (exist ("OCTAVE_VERSION") == 5)
        # As of Octave version 3, "instead of setting the built-in variable
        # LOADPATH, you must use addpath [...] to manipulate the function
        # search path." [1]
        fsep=filesep();
        prefix=[d,fsep,"plugins",fsep,"octave",fsep,"octave",fsep];
        addpath ([prefix,"tm"],         "-end");
        addpath ([prefix,"plot"],       "-end");
        addpath ([prefix,"polynomial"], "-end");
        # NB: filesep() is used above for portability.
    #else
    #    LOADPATH=[LOADPATH,                              \
    #              [d,"/plugins/octave/octave/tm:"],      \
    #              [d,"/plugins/octave/octave/plot:"],    \
    #              [d,"/plugins/octave/octave/polynomial:"]];
    #endif

    # Customize the command-line prompt.
    #if (exist ("OCTAVE_VERSION") == 5)
        # As of Octave version 3, "all built-in variables have been converted
        # to functions." [1]
        PS1("\\002channel:prompt\\005octave> \\005");
        PS2("\\002channel:prompt\\005> \\005");
    #else
    #    PS1="\\002channel:prompt\\005octave> \\005";
    #    PS2="\\002channel:prompt\\005> \\005";
    #endif

    # Define some global variables.
    global TMSTRUCT=0;
    global TMCOLORS=["black"; "red"; "magenta"; "orange"; "green"; "blue";];
    global TMCOLIDX=rows(TMCOLORS);
endif

-------- end ----------


i.e. comment out all the setting about < octave-2.9. Hope this work for you,

Best regards,
